South Korea‘s economy is on a recovery path, although industrial output and investment are facing adjustments, a government report said Friday.

A weaker job market and rate hikes in the United States pose downside risks to Asia’s fourth-largest economy, the finance ministry said in its monthly economic assessment report.

“The overall recovery pace is being maintained,” the ministry said. “Industrial output and investment faced correction in the first two months of the year due to a base effect, but domestic consumption showing continued signs of growth,” it added.

The report, called the “Green Book,” is based on the latest economic indicators of such key factors as output, exports, consumption and corporate investment, which provide clues as to how the economy has been faring in recent months.
